Answer:
The correct answer is option (1).
Explanation:
Mass of the sample = 5.5 g
Percentage of carbon in sample = 35 %
Percentage of oxygen in sample = 100% - 35%
[tex]\%=\frac{\text{Mass of the element in the sample}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100[/tex]
Mass of carbon in a sample: (35%) of 5.5 g
[tex]\frac{35}{100}\times 5.5 g=1.925 g[/tex]
Mass of oxygen in a sample: (100%-35%) of 5.5 g
[tex]\frac{100-35}{100}\times 5.5 g=3.575 g[/tex]
